              This story is explaining why the rabbits tail is so different from other animals' tails. This story has a trickster in it and a "fool" that gets tricked. In this case its the rabbit who in the middle of winter doesn't have any food and when he was hunting didn't do well at all. He asked the fox "chula" where he got his fish and the fox said the frozen river. He got them by sticking his tail in the frozen ice and getting the fish to take a bite. Well his tail became frozen into the ice and he had to lose it for the rabbit to move.
     
Inside this story we find the Native American doing what every society and culture doing: creating stories and myths to explain the unknown reasons. I find this quite interesting and enjoyed watching this video..
